Error 0x8000CCC0f when retrieving POP3 email

This problem just started happening in the past week. No changes to account
settings, firewall, network etc.

Connecting to a POP3 mail server, I'm now unable to connect and retrive
email. Receive the following error:

Unable to send or receive messages for the XXXXX account. Your server has
unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include
server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

Re: Error 0x8000CCC0f when retrieving POP3 email

Are you scanning your in and outgoing emails? Disable the email scanning by
uninstalling your AV and then re-installing it without the email
integration(scanning). Sometimes just disabling it will not take or do

Re: Error 0x8000CCC0f when retrieving POP3 email

I'm synchronizing two accounts, one is hotmail (working fine) and the second
one started encountering the same problem (0x8000CCC0f) few weeks ago after
working fine. This must be something local on the machine as I set up the
same configuration on another machine and it is working fine.
The faulty machine: XP SP3, Symantec end point protection 11.0

Re: Error 0x8000CCC0f when retrieving POP3 email

Tried disabling AV to no avail

A couple of more tidbits ...

- The same account settings work fine in Thunderbird
- I have another POP account in WLM that works fine
- The key difference between the 2 accounts is that the "failing" account
uses SSL, the "good" account does not
- Both accounts are hosted on Yahoo - The "failing" account is a business
account through Yahoo's web hosting service. The "good" account is a Yahoo
Premium personal email account.
- I tried deleting and re-adding the "failing" account in WLM. Same problem
after the account was recreated.

Any other thoughts ... ??

Re: Error 0x8000CCC0f when retrieving POP3 email

Which AV is it? You might try a temporary uninstall to see if that
implicates the AV as the culprit. Just 'disabling' an AV often does
not stop all of its pervasive activities.
